I've got my eye on the upcoming Nexus 5 as a potential future purchase, but I'm also looking for suggestions and opinions on what might be the "best" unlocked, no-contract phone out there for around 350 bones or so.

Okay, so I went and bought a Nexus 4 for my wife and she didn't like the large form factor that goes along with the 4.7 inch display (she's currently using a phone with a 3.7 inch display). So I guess I'm selling the Nexus and looking for a good phone with a display of 4.5 inches or smaller at at price south of $350. Any suggestions?
